Do you have a comic or other project you want to promote? Feel free to post about it here, but don't just post and run. Sticking around and joining in other discussions is the best way to get Outhousers interested in your work. These topics will also show up in The News Stand and The Asylum, for maximum exposure.

I wonder what it would look like, if both danced together in those costumes. I suspect it'd beevocative of the old Disney Fantasia film's certain sequences. Yet, not animated in that style. Even a kaleidoscope like effect perhaps?

it's hard to tell if the change is just b/c of costume b/c I have to make constant changes to the shutter speed and flash as I shoot based on how far away they are vs. me and how fast they move and if the light changes at all in the room. Some could be the costuming... I'm sure that orange blends more interesting with the background, but some could be my fault for the way I set stuff up.

The other benefit when they are in a big room like that where the flash might not light up the whole room is you won't end up with a person illuminated and a black background where it looks like they are standing in a cave.

Well that's not always by design. When shooting things live you kinda have to make due and combined with action I'm usually tracking someone moving all over.

I have other stuff than what I've posted here, some at other angles and framing. But I think most are somewhat centered out of necessity. And I'm often shooting these for clients, so they want to see themselves in the pictures they are paying for and that limits choices sometimes.
